The old man in front of him was dressed simply and had wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was about to die, but no one present dared to look down upon him.
Fang Zhentian, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, was older than Jiang Yushu, the Minister of Punishment. He was good at conquering and fighting when he was young. Three or four out of ten of Da Xia's current territories were conquered by him with his own hands.
He has outstanding talent in martial arts and has reached the peak of Qi control in his youth. However, he has been unable to advance to Alchemy Qi due to countless hidden injuries suffered from years of fighting.
In his middle age, Fang Zhentian took the initiative to stay at home and released 99% of his military power. At that time, Fang Canghai and Fang Canyou happened to be in their prime and succeeded Fang Zhentian as the rookies in the army.
But compared with Fang Zhentian, there was still a gap between the two. Their martial arts talents and ability to lead troops were far inferior. During that period, Fang Mansion was gradually looked down upon, until Fang Chen was born.
Speaking of which, everyone knows that Fang Chen's ability to establish prestige in the army in a short period of time is all due to the residual power left by Fang Zhentian. When the older generals see Fang Chen, they feel like they see Fang Zhentian in his youth!
Xiao Shence and Yan Beihan subconsciously took half a step back, their eyes serious with a hint of doubt.
The old man of the Fang family is out of confinement?
Does this mean that he has broken through the alchemy? Or...failed?
"Old man, have you made a breakthrough?"
Fang Canyou's face showed a look of hope.
"You brat, how come you're in a wheelchair when I haven't been here these past few years? I asked you to have a good family and build a career, but you want to do the opposite to me?
If you can marry a good wife, you won't have to get into trouble and ruin your legs."
Fang Zhentian shouted and cursed.
Fang Canyou's expression changed slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on Yan Beihan's face. He was the one who damaged the other person's legs.
"father."
Fang Chen's mother quickly stepped forward to help the old man, and Fang Zhixue followed suit, supporting Fang Zhentian on the left and right with her.
"Xiao Nizi, are you angry? Yes, yes, among the women in our house, your martial arts talent is the best."
Fang Zhentian smiled at Fang Zhixue.
Fang Zhixue showed a look of pride on her face: "Grandpa, I will be promoted to Qi Control in the future."
"Okay, very good, I hope grandpa can see that day."
Fang Zhentian patted Fang Zhixue's head gently.
"Where's Cang Hai?"
Fang Zhentian looked at Fang Chen's mother.
"I heard from them that my husband has been invited to the palace."
Fang Chen's mother was quite calm and explained the matter in brief sentences.
"Oh? Chen'er's cultivation has recovered? This is a good thing."
A glint flashed in Fang Zhentian's eyes.
Fang Canyou hurriedly said: "Dad, Chen'er's cultivation has not only recovered, but it has become even better than before. You won't have to go into seclusion in the future."
Five years ago, Fang Chen was defeated in the Three Realms Mountain. He lost his eyesight and lost his cultivation. Fang Zhentian began to retreat from death to death from that day and never came out again.
"Where's Chen'er?"
Fang Zhentian ignored Fang Canyou and asked Fang Chen's mother.
"Chen'er went to the Southland for something. I don't know when I will be back."
Fang Chen's mother whispered.
"Is there something wrong with the warriors over there in the Southland?"
Fang Zhentian whispered to himself: "Those guys are not easy to deal with, but fortunately Chen'er should be able to suppress them."
After a pause, Fang Zhentian looked at Xiao Shence and Yan Beihan: "What did the emperor tell you?"
"The Holy One said... please everyone in the Fang Mansion go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Hanshui Kingdom man will be held accountable for Zhou Xiu's death."
Xiao Shence said.
"Who is coming from Hanshui Country?"
Fang Zhentian said calmly.
"Ji Lengyue, a member of the Ji family."
Xiao Shence said in a deep voice: "The Holy One has no choice. The Viscount Zhou Xiu that Fang Chen killed this time was of Ji family blood, so Hanshui Kingdom intervened."
"The Ji family that founded the Nightmare Knights?"
Fang Zhentian frowned slightly, "When I was young, I fought against the Nightmare Knights. Their strength cannot be underestimated."
Everyone was a little shocked.
Xiao Shence and Yan Beihan glanced at each other subconsciously.
Is the old man of the Fang family so awesome?
When he was young, he actually fought against the Ji family’s nightmare knights!?
"Since the Holy One wants to invite us there, let's go."
Fang Zhentian said calmly: "If you have anything to do, just explain it clearly."
When Lao Huang and others saw this, they just gave up the idea of taking action. They knew that if they disobeyed Fang Zhentian, the first thing they would do when Fang Chen came back would be to teach them a lesson.
"By the way, you leave someone in Fang Mansion and tell Chen'er when he comes back."
Fang Zhentian looked at Xiao Shence and said calmly.
"Commander, please stay here."
Niu Jue suddenly spoke.
Xiao Shence glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Okay, you'll stay."
Outside the Fang Mansion, it was impossible to hide such a big movement from the Blade Guards and the Forbidden Army. There were already people standing outside, some of them were servants sent by nobles from various families, intending to see what was going on.
When they saw everyone in the Fang Mansion being escorted out of the Fang Mansion by fierce sword guards and imperial guards, everyone was stunned, and a flash of shock could not help but appear in their eyes.
"Is Hanshui Kingdom planning to kill everyone? Even the servants and maids will be captured together!?"
"Why didn't you see Fang Junshen!?"
Many people in the crowd had sharp looks in their eyes, and they kept exchanging glances with Xu Ge and others, and finally resisted the urge to take action.
"Let me tell you, now that someone from Hanshui Kingdom has come to investigate, the Emperor of Daxia will no longer turn a blind eye. I think this Fang Mansion will be finished today."
"Who is that old man?"
"Hey, it can't be that old man from Fang Mansion, right?"
"It seems like it's really him..."
"It seems that Daxia's visit is real this time."
"This is normal. How dare Daxia fool Hanshui Country."
"Why is Fang Chen missing?"
"I heard I'm leaving Beijing."
"Could this kid have escaped first because he knew that the Cold Water Congress was coming to question him?"
Not far away, Guhe, the scribes of Yizhou were whispering and pointing towards Fang Mansion.
On the other side, the younger generation of Daxia, led by Tao Yu and Ye Qinghe, stood on the street and watched.
"Has the old man from Fang Mansion been forced out of prison?"
Ye Qinghe looked a little shocked.
Growing up, he had heard a lot of stories related to Fang Zhentian from his father, and they were exactly like Fang Chen today!
How could such a character be forced out of prison?
"The Fang Mansion is doomed this time."
Tao Yu frowned slightly: "If the Fang family is gone... Daxia's military strength will probably be much worse than before, which will have an impact on Daxia's morale."
"Brother Tao, isn't this a good thing? The Fang family is extremely domineering. Without them, it would be a blessing for us in Daxia."
"That's right, Fang Chen only stirs up trouble, and now he has kicked the iron plate, causing our Daxia to be punished by the Hanshui Kingdom."
Many young people spoke one after another. They were jealous that Fang Chen was about the same age as them, but he had achieved achievements that were difficult for them to achieve in their lifetime.
"idiot."
Tao Yu's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said lightly: "We don't get along with Fang Chen, so it can only be regarded as an internal fight. Do you really think that the collapse of Fang Mansion is a good thing for you and me? In the future, Long Du will come knocking on your door again."
, who went out to stop them?"
Everyone was slightly startled. Ye Qinghe glanced at Tao Yu and said unhurriedly: "There are still many talents in the army today, but they have been blocked by Fang Chen.
If the Fang Mansion falls, there will be people to take over and guard Daxia."
"Qinghe, if we don't have foreign invasion in Great Xia, the Fang Mansion will also fall if it falls. This is not a bad thing for you and me.
It’s a pity that your view is too simple, Fang Mansion cannot fail, at least... it can’t fail now.”
Tao Yu shook his head slightly.
Ye Qinghe was about to argue, but suddenly asked in surprise: "Hey, people from Dahua Temple are here?"
